Aiming for Net Zero

Climate change is a problem we all face, touching on every aspect of society.

For the RAF, tasked with protecting the nation’s security, climate change creates humanitarian crises that threaten peace and global stability. That’s why it has set a target to reach Net Zero carbon emissions by 2040.

The Ministry of Defence contributes around 50% of all government carbon emissions, so the RAF has a huge challenge ahead.

To achieve their goal, the RAF needs to adopt technologies and solutions to accelerate decarbonising activities and switch to green fuel sources to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. To make matters more challenging, all of this must happen while maintaining operational capability at home and overseas in some of the most hostile and unforgiving environments on earth.

And this is where our world-leading researchers and experts come in.
